I am adapting a script that needs to know whether a user needs to change their password on the next login from NT to AD with Samba. I have tried "samba-tool user getpassword <user> --attributes PwdMustChangeNow", but that's not giving me anything useful - just a DN, and "Got password OK" (even on users that do need the password to change). Is there another line I can use that will show when a user's password must change? The OS is Debian 9, running samba 4.5.12-Debian (yes, I know...

> net sam set pwdmustchangenow (username) yes what does you mean? I need a GUI that allow users change own password thanks Pol

It wouldn't, mainly because 'PwdMustChangeNow' isn't one of the listed attributes and I don't know where you got it fr...

...the documentation setting sambaPwdMustChange=0 should work. However, on my setup, it does NOT work. The user can log on, but is NOT asked to change his or her password. (docs: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/passdb.html#id2586078) Then I tried using "net sam set pwdmustchangenow USERNAME yes" (which is I guess the native samba way of archiving this) and it DOES work, but by setting: sambaPwdLastSet=0 ! So the question: are the samba docs wrong, or is my samba wrong? I'm running samba 3.0.26a on suse linux enterprise server 9, sp3, maybe the docs are for more...

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

...When I was on Debian Etch I could use this: pdbedit -r -u user --time-format=%d-%m-%Y --pwd-must-change-time=<date> But it seems this option for pdbedit is not available anymore in the Samba version included in Lenny. I've read elsewhere about using this as a replacement: net sam set pwdmustchangenow <user> yes ...but this sets the expiration date to NOW, which is not what I want. How can I achieve what I need? Using a cron job for planning a "net sam" command would give a different result, because the user would not be warned in advance about her password going to expire....

Hey everyone, I've got a file server (named success) running Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E. I've also got another file server (named happiness) running Samba version 3.3.15 and LDAP. I've got success pointed to happiness for LDAP in the smb.conf, and running a "pdbedit -v user" works, it shows the proper information...except for the password must expire, it seemingly ignores

I have been working to get pdbedit to expire passwords. I have seen several bugs related to pdbedit (bugzilla bug 4630 for example) on 3.0.25 so I upgraded to 3.0.25a, the latest Samba version as of this writing. What I am trying to do is set a particular user's password to expire on a certain date. If that can't be done, the ability to set it to expire "now" would be my

I've got a cluster of Samba servers with security=user and a ctdb passdb backend. I need to keep the passwords for the users in sync with another system, which will pass me userid and password for each change and reset. My question is what is the simplest way to do the password reset for a user as root on one of the Samba servers. I need to allow the user to change their password

...offer a tip or hint! I upgraded an Ubuntu LTS server (running Samba 3.X) to the latest version (running Samba 4.1.6) a few months ago and a bothersome issue persists with forcing Windows users to change their password at the next login. This command used to do the trick net sam set pwdmustchangenow <username> yes and indeed the user is prompted to change their password now, but they are always given an "Access is denied" message upon entering a new password selection twice. The error recorded by Samba at the client log appears to be related to PAM: [2015/07/06 16:10:...

I have been having some problems since I updated from Samba 3.0.23 to 3.0.25b. I have installed the latest version of smbldap-tools but I am still not able to make certain changes to a user's account. I have created a new user named JROLFE. After I set up a new user, I will set it so they are required to change their password when they first login. I usually do this through LDAP Account
